This is more than just the story of Paul Revere's ride. Told in first person from the view of his second daughter, Sarah, who was thirteen when he took he most famous ride. Like Ms. Rinaldi says in her afterward, our education of the American Revolution is usually limited to elementary school and doesn't go into a lot of details about battles, etc. I actually learned quite a bit and am thankful for her research.

Thirteen-year-old Sarah Revere knows her father is a hero. But she also knows that Paul Revere guards a secret about the start of the Revolutionary War that he'll tell no one--not his new wife, not his best friend, not even his trusted daughter. It seems everyone in her family has secrets. Sarah's even got one of her own--and it's tearing her apart. Reader's guide included.
